How to Stop a Dog’s Jumping—Doggie Don’t Device Coupon Code

To stop a dog from jumping, most trainers will say you should ignore the jumping and praise your dog when all four paws are on the ground.

The problem is, a lot of dogs don’t have the self-control not to jump when they’re excited, and people are not always consistent with which behaviors they reward!

That’s why for certain “bad” behaviors, it’s helpful if you can interrupt your dog just for a second—long enough to stop the “bad” behavior—and then praise.

A device that can help with this is the Doggie Don’t Device, a handheld dog training product that makes a loud, static sound at the push of a button.

What is the Doggie Don’t?

The Doggie Don’t is a training tool that makes an unpleasant sound when you push a button. It is audible to dogs and people (it sounds like loud static, almost like a “stun gun”) and is designed to interrupt your dog’s bad behavior.

Ideally, the sound will cause your dog to stop the unwanted behavior for a second, allowing you to praise her. It is not designed as a punishment.

Have you ever pretended to knock at the door (or rang the doorbell) in order to get your dog’s attention? I have done this to get my dog to drop something in his mouth. It worked because it shifted his attention elsewhere momentarily. That’s what the Doggie Don’t Device can do.

How to use the Doggie Don’t

First, give your dog a chance to respond to your command such as “off” or “sit.” Praise your dog if she listens.

If she doesn’t follow your command, use the Doggie Don’t one time to interrupt the behavior. Then, praise her for being quiet or for keeping her paws on the ground or whatever you’re working on.

Examples of when the Doggie Don’t can be helpful

1. ‘Counter surfing.’

Stealing food off the counters is one of those behaviors that will not go away if you ignore your dog. Every time your dog manages to grab food off the counters, she is self-rewarded!

If you have a counter-surfing dog, I recommend you teach her a command like “out” to mean “stay out of the kitchen” or to stay a certain distance from the counter. Then, use the Doggie Don’t if your dog does not move “out.”

2. Nuisance barking while you’re home.

I would use the Doggie Don’t for dogs that tend to constantly “alert” you to every little noise or dogs that are obsessed with barking at other dogs, rabbits, etc.

Just be sure you understand your dog’s “triggers” and why she is barking. For example, if she is barking out of fear, I would find a way to decrease her fear rather than use the Doggie Don’t. But if your dog is barking because she wants to attack every single squirrel, the Doggie Don’t can be a good training option.

3. Getting your dog to drop items on walks.

Some people have used the Doggie Don’t to prevent their dogs from picking up disgusting or dangerous items during walks. For example, my puppy tries to eat rocks, garbage, mulch, etc. The Doggie Don’t can be used to distract your dog and prevent him from picking up these items. It can also work to get your dog to “drop it” if he already has something in his mouth.

4. Jumping or pawing at you, invading your space

This is probably the most common problem I hear about from my readers! The Doggie Don’t can help stop a dog’s jumping, but it works best if you use it sparingly and as an interrupter vs. a punishment. It’s all about the timing.

For example, when you walk in the door and you know your dog is likely to jump on you, you would ignore your dog and give the “off” or “sit” command. If he tries to jump, you would push the Doggie Don’t Device button once and repeat “off.” Then praise your dog for not jumping.

5. Staying off the furniture

The Doggie Don’t could be used to prevent a dog from jumping up on certain furniture, similar to counter-surfing or jumping up on people.

I even heard about an example from an owner of a rescued Yorkie who said her dog attacked her husband every time he tried to get into bed! They ended up using the Doggie Don’t to interrupt this behavior!

What NOT to do when using the Doggie Don’t Device

I’ve had a chance to use the Doggie Don’t with my dogs for a couple of months and I have some recommendations on what NOT to do.

1. Don’t use it too frequently. Dogs tend to tune us out if we’re constantly “nagging” at them with our voice and it’s no different with a sound from the Doggie Don’t. Use it very sparingly and with clear intention. If you have to use it over and over or more than once within a few minutes, re-consider your timing or perhaps it’s just not the best device for that particular issue.

2. Don’t think of it as a punishment. Think of it as an interrupter.

3. Don’t use this on overly fearful dogs. You wouldn’t want to use this on dogs that are often afraid, sensitive or dogs that tend to react with aggression. On the other hand, overly confident, determined dogs might act like they don’t even hear it!

4. Don’t work on multiple behaviors at once. Choose one problem behavior to work on with the Doggie Don’t. Otherwise, you’ll be overusing it and your dog will tune out the sound, think you’re crazy or become desensitized to it.

Not my Hannah she listens very well and sits nicely for people but 2 very annoying dogs at the park- one an Airedale jumps on people and tries to steal gloves coffee cups etc. people are holding. This is the owner’s fault cause he does not correct the dog and probably never taught him off and leave it. I advise people to tell the owner to remove his dog if he is jumping on them. Another mix breed lab terrier jumps on people as well I tell him off and shoo him away and I tell the owner to get him and go elsewhere. Also her fault for likely not teaching do off command.

It’s been tough going teaching Lambeau not to jump on people when they want to give him some attention. I don’t want to discourage his friendliness, but most of the tricks suggested aren’t working too well. I think it’s because he does get so excited, he’s tuning me out when I tell him “off.” I’d love to try the Doggie Don’t and see if it might be enough to grab his attention back.

My jumping Aussie has a hard time controlling her jumping up on strangers. For the holidays we are going to visit my 90 year old parents in their home. We are worried about what could happen! Sounds like the Doggie Don’t may be a help with our training!

My dog always stops when she hears random noises, but she is beginning to tone me out so I think this device would be perfect. She is an aussiedoodle who loves to jump and bark and greet everyone with excitement, but I don’t want that same intensity used to great my grandmother.

Can’t waitt to try the Doggie Don’t – whether it is jumping up on people or barking we could use it for our one year old Golden Retriever. She needs to learn that it is unappropriate behavior. Sounds like the perfect training tool.

omg, my dog jumps on me all the time, when i come home, when I am walking through the house, when I come down stairs, etc. I have tried everything to get him to stop, ignoring, telling him to sit, putting my foot on his leash, nothing works. Would love to try this.

Oh my I need the Doggie Don’t! Our new doggie loves our kids (we have 4). My youngest is 4 and nonverbal- she has a chromosomal disorder which requires her to wear hearing aids. She loves our dog Everest and encourages kisses…but unfortunately Everest loves to jump up on her and nip at the hearing aids like candy. Ugh! Since she doesn’t talk she can’t speak to tell Everest off. This would be the perfect instant deterrent!! I need a Doggie Don’t!!

This sounds just what I’ve been searching for. Thank you for helping all dog lovers. I’m very lucky to if rescued my dog, he’s very hyper when you come home and jumps up and can at times due to excitement scratch you with his strong large claws . (Not on purpose) he’s a very lovable 2 year old . One of these would help immensely. As we have five dogs in our household . Would be great to try and share with our other doggy friends .

Our sweet girl Margo (7 mos.) has a habit of trying to eat EVERYTHING while outside on walks. We’ve tried several techniques, but are having a hard time with it and it’s even led to some tummy issues! The Doggy Don’t sounds like it could be perfect for interrupting and distracting her from “delicious” mulch, rocks, and mud!

This would save so many headaches in our house! Our two year old Lab/Shepherd Mix jumps on everyone! Including my small nieces :/ we’ve tried so many things but his excitement just gets the best of him. Then our 2.5 year old Cocker Spaniel thinks she can jump on people too since Maverick (definitely lives up to his name! Hehe) jumps. Please help our family! This would be such a blessing!

I have a 4 yr old German Shepherd mix rescue who is a sweet and loving dog but is very reactive. After over $1500 in training with a behaviorist I am still looking for new positive ways to train him. Getting his attention when he’s reacting is nearly impossible..even with chicken! Would love to try the Doggie Don’t!

My 4 mth old mini aussie is hyper and I’m having a difficult time getting his attention. We need to seriously work on all the issues mentioned in your blog. Help! Have really enjoyed getting your page. Thanks so much for thr good tips and articles.

I could really use this on my 10-month-old poodle. We have been working on not jumping on people for a long time now, but seem to have plateaued on his training. I think something like this could be the key to my puppy understanding that jumping on guests is not alright! It would also be a great tool to teach him to not counter surf as well. Cannot wait to try out this product it sounds amazing!

This is awesome!
Ignoring my GSD puppy when she is jumping is practically impossible- I end up with scratches all over my body- one day I’m sure she will knock me down. Hopefully something like this will work!
Thanks for the info.

My 2 yr old mini golden doodle jumps on anyone coming in the door. Sometimes if it’s just me and my husband, she will eventually obey the command to go to “petting place” AKA her couch. We are in our 70’s and don’t want to be knocked down by a 34 lb dog – even if she is the sweetest dog in the world! I would love to try this device

This would be a great tool for our new rescue, Zoey. She has a lot of bad habits that we are trying to break….one at a time. Watching our other furbabies & their behavior is a big help, but this tool would definitely be beneficial in our one on one time.

I would absolutely LOVE this device. I have a pitt bull that I rescued from the shelter. Although he looks very scary, he is the sweetest boy around. People want to pet him, but I can’t get him to stop jumpin on everyone!!! I want everyone to know what a great breed this can be and I think this device wil help me teach him to stop JUMPING ON EVERYONE HE MEETS!!!

I need this!!! I am almost 7 months preggo with our first, and our overly anxious and hyper 1 1/2 yr old Aussie is worrying us with his behavior. He does not do well when me or my husband leave him when we are in public or when we go on walks and see other dogs (or bicycles/skateboards). It escalated tremendously when I got pregnant, and now we are worried what he will be like when our daughter is here. Not for aggression reasons, but for attention and his anxiety. His jumping and barking have been out of control – and we have tried everything under the sun with multiple trainers. I would LOOOVE to try this and have this down before our newborn gets here. Awesome!

I would soooo love this device. I am getting my first Yorkie soon and foresee lots of jumping and discipline/training in my future. Anything to make this a smooth experience and transition for us both would be helpful.

This would be so great! I came on to the blog today looking for ideas to help me with Willow’s jumping and this is what popped up. We were at a very busy crosswalk yesterday waiting for the light to change and Willow was sitting and waiting nicely UNTIL someone looked at her; before I had a chance to react Willow was jumping on them wanting attention. I was mortified!

My dog logen always jumps on my kids. He rips there clothes and scratches their face. Although he’s just playing it is aggravating. I would love to see if doggie don’t works. Teaching logen not to jump or even just stay in the fence would be a blessing. If not we may have to find him another home.

Oh, would I love to have this device. I have tried everything, I think. Maizie is a Westie, and I can’t get to her fast enough to stop her from jumping up on people when they come into the house. I’ve tried the word, “off”, and then I tried “sit”, but she jumps up on them before she sits. Interrupting thinking and excitement is what I need. I also tried “Stop That!” (which interrupts her thinking), but it leaves an odor for EVERYONE to smell. This product sounds like it is exactly what I need! Thank you for inventing it!

I listened to several dog trainers about ignoring my dog and turning around when she jumps. It never works. She jumps because she is so excited to see me, especially when I come home from work. I have even tried leaving her leashed and have someone step on her leash, but that has not worked either.

This seems amazing! My GSD mix is super sweet, but she gets very excited and loves jumping when she sees you. She’s around my grandparents a lot, so I’m always worried she’ll push one of them over and cause an injury. Thank you for offering this!

I would love to try that device on coco..
When she gets excited she is always jumping up in the air. I always have to wait until she calms down before we do anything. She knows she is not suppose
To jump but she still does maybe this device would help.

I would love the Doggie Don’t to interrupt my Stella when she’s jumping on me or whoever walks through the front door. She’s getting out of the “puppy stages” and starting to calm down. Most of her bad habits have been fixed, but jumping remains the one that she still hasn’t gotten yet. I’m hoping that this product can help me make Stella an obedient, happy dog!
